[latex] Compilation fails due to font issue when using `itemize` environment

[emvalbuena]

Description Compiling a LaTeX document with an itemize environment using the provided Docker image results in a font-related error. However, the document compiles without issues when I use the enumerate environment instead.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a file mwe.tex with the following LaTeX code:

\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}

\section*{Testing Itemize Environment}

This is a test to demonstrate a compilation issue with the `itemize` environment.

\begin{itemize}
  \item First item
  \item Second item
\end{itemize}

\end{document}

2. Run the following command to compile the document using the Docker image:

dexliveonfly mwe.tex

Expected Behavior The document should compile to a PDF without any errors.

Actual Behavior The compilation process fails with the following error:

!pdfTeX error: pdflatex (file tcrm1200): Font tcrm1200 at 600 not found
 ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!

Environment

• Docker image: mmngreco/dex:latest
• Host OS: macOS Sonoma 14.4.1

Additional Context The same LaTeX file compiles without error when the itemize environment is replaced with an enumerate environment.

\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}

\section*{Testing Itemize Environment}

This is a test to demonstrate a compilation issue with the `itemize` environment.

-\begin{itemize}
+\begin{enumerate}
  \item First item
  \item Second item
-\end{itemize}
+\end{enumerate}

\end{document}

Hey @KikeM,

Thank you for opening this issue, i was able to reproduce the error and here are my findings:

• you can use xelatex instead of pdflatex as a compiler, you have multiple options to achieve this.
  • using compiler option: dexliveonfly -cxelatex mwe.tex
  • using xelatex directly: dex xelatex mwe.tex
